nice to meet you

while i was wrestling with the gremlins in this doodle, its gentler cousin sat on my shoulder and waited patiently for its due - and here is what it had to say. i've met some fascinating people who were born instinctively in tune with their soul and their way in this world, but i've known many more of us who have had to go in search of ourselves, who have had to learn who we are not before we've learned who we are. if i had to do it again, i think i'd still pick the long hard journey.

here's to the journey! what a ride.... just today I was wondering how life would be different if I had waited to start Moe in K this year vs. last. I wouldn't have met you! - Well... Yes we so would have met, but maybe not then! I'm glad for most parts of the journey!

I'm sitting here saying... WOW... over and over again. WOW. WOW. WOW. I'm connecting to your words in so many ways right now but my mind just keeps spitting out WOW at me. Truly. WOW. Thanks for posting this. I needed it.

the ride and the search might seem a bit more difficult- but it is so worth it! and is certainly much more exciting.so glad i found you somewhere along the way- peopel like you make my journey fun, interesting and wonderful xo

I just love your doodle postings! the colors, the message and reflection are fun & thoughtful...Do you take pictures of your work? or how do you post these?I would like to post a pics of a book I made for my mom...silverlinings4me.blogspot.com

Amy...you ARE going to publish a book someday with your doodles, aren't you. Seriously, they speak to not only me but so many people on so many levels...we gotta get more of the whole world introduced to artsyville!

Absolutely.I will travel far and wide,search high and low,look east and west,bend up and down,Walk back and forth,Run to and fro.In the process I grow and learnonly then Igain wisdomand thenI look within.

I'm still in the process of looking for mine (it tends to run for the hills now and again, the bugger. living in the low lands, it's becoming a bit of a stretch having to go get it back every time.)I totally totally adore how you described this one. actually, you know what, I think that instead of agnosticism or revisionism, I'm going to join the aimeeism movement. decided. how much is the monthly contribution going to set me back? ;)

I've been waffling on which way I would have picked a lot lately, if I could. I'm not typically an envious person, but I find myself frustrated that I'm finally in tune with myself at 40...when others in their 30s are zipping by me. I know a lot of things happened in my 30s that informed my work for sure, so I guess I can't have me without having all of me. Wonderful thoughts Aimee!

oh aimee, this is gorgeous.isn't it a great season toSEE these wise waves & tallflowers & the breadth of ourbeing that have been hereall along? love how you've capturedthe essencehere.& love to you,to your soul,xox.

Oooh, the colors in this one! Lovely how the lavenders and blues are echoed within the letters. And I couldn't agree with you more. You get to collect more souvenirs and treasures and tales on the long hard journey. And the lessons stick better.

maybe it's hormones, but this just made me cry and cry. i feel like her and sometimes my feet hurt and i just want to arrive at the destination, already. but, i see i'm in some pretty great company, so it's not so bad after all. happy sunday!

That's a lovely drawing. The words were really what I needed today. I think we all have the answers right inside of ourselves but sometimes we just can't get quiet enough to hear them. Seems like the more I search outside of myself, the harder it is to find me :)
